Am I the only one that thinks black smith pages/gems should be a different colour than the normal white drops?

I'd be all for that.

man u guys are leveling fast, im wizard lvl 16 on act 2 normal lol , xp gains seem slow as hell tbh

I think the way it's supposed to work is that you reach certain levels after completed each playthrough:

Normal mode - Level 30
Nightmare Mode - Level 50
Hell mode - Level 60

server shutdown in 3 mins :/

 

[ColEx]

Does this mean when it goes live again, it will be like release night all over again?

 

[A2BDriver]

It wasn't sarcasm at all. You were clearly trying to get a reaction out the guy by telling to to get a better ISP then replying with exactly

That only person that didn't get it is you. Can we move on from this? its getting silly now.

I've just explained what I got from what you said but yes we should carry on discussing Diablo 3 and not ISPs.

 

[PinkFloyd]

Server shutdown :'(
Was having fun doing co-op then!

 

[kingbean]

Was there queuing before?

Does it check where you are connecting from? for example if I log into my google account on this PC it doesn't need an authenticator code as I've set it to every 30 days, but if I log in from any other device it needs the code.

So if I log into D3 and type my authenticator code only once, does that mean on any other device it still has to be typed in to log in, or does it mean logging in from any computer doesn't have to type it in for a week?

Yeah it does location/IP tracking it seems:

Damn just got kicked

service update incoming.

 

[simpletom]

Hmmm... this server shutdown stuff is a PITA. It is not as if they are new to the game as well...

 

[Drake5]

Why does their have to be an active connection to the servers to play offline? Is it purely for DRM or is some gameplay content actually hosted online?

May be a stupid question however I don't understand these things.

 

[Macky]

Poorly implemented DRM.

 

[GothicCorpse]

can someone wake me up when the servers are back up zzzzzzzz

 

[Sweey]

I want to play :|

I believe its purely down to the fact that they will be having a real world money auction house and if they let people play offline people may try and hack the game, giving them an advantage on the AH. It sucks I know but I do agree with it.

That said, I wouldn't have minded an option to opt out of the AH so I could still play solo/LAN/online without this server business.

All your data is stored on the battle.net servers, even when playing single-player you have the option of going online with him/her whenever you want. It's a more secure way of doing things.

Single-player on Diablo 2 just lead to loads of people cheating, on Battle.net there was nothing of the sort.

 

[anything I don't mind]

WTF half way through game and i get battlenet maintenance try again later this is annoying.

I just got some good deals on AH. all my items are rare now and maxed out. and i have 10000 gold
